Citizens’ Academy Graduation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 6th Citizens’ Academy has concluded. Attached is the participant roster and schedule. We
have invited the Academy participants to the Selectmen’s meeting for a brief discussion
regarding their experiences. We will also ask the Selectmen to take a photo with the group.
Some suggested discussion questions to raise with the participants:
For those of you who have lived in Lexington for a while, did you learn something new
about the Town? For those who have recently moved here, did you learn something that
you would like to explore further?
What were the highlights of the Academy?
Based on what you have learned in the Citizens’ Academy, would you consider
volunteering for a Town board or committee in the future?
Now that you have learned how the Town works, do you have any questions for the
Selectmen?

Sent:Wednesday, November 19, 2014 3:01 PM
To:Lynne Pease
Subject:Inn at Hastings Park / Artistry on Green Restaurant
Lynne,
Below is language proposal to amend conditions on license:
Present language of License applicable to Restaurant Patrons:
“Patrons
7. Alcohol Service to and consumption by patrons is allowed only in the restaurant/dining room.”
Proposed replacement language applicable to Restaurant Patrons:
“Service and Consumption of Alcohol by Restaurant Patrons
7. Alcohol service to and consumption by patrons is allowed only in the restaurant dining room and waiting area
(which includes the service bar area), and only to patrons waiting to be seated in the dining room. Appetizers
and hors d’oeuvres shall be available to patrons in the waiting area in accordance with the Regulations.”
The driver for this is that restaurant patrons / restaurant reviews etc. are seeking the ability to have a drink (with food
per Lexington regs) while waiting for a table. I understand that many other restaurants in Lexington do offer this and
Artistry would like to be treated the same. Currently, there is a bench in the foyer and that is where patrons
wait. Trisha would like to put in and 8 stools at service bar in the bar area for them to wait and have a drink. This is
really convenience for patrons waiting to have a drink and not to have full meal. With the holidays rapidly approaching,
this would be nice to have in place for the holiday season. Please note that this stools at bar is in no way a “bar” – this
waiting area is only for patrons waiting for table.
Thank you.

LEXINGTON BOARD OF SELECTMEN MEETING
DATE: 12/1/14 PRESENTER: Joe Pato ITEM NUMBER: I.6
SUBJECT:
Tourism Committee Structure
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Tourism Committee is a By-Law committee charged with enhancing and promoting tourism
within the Town. Because the By-Law provides for a range of members (7-12) and a number of
these member slots are reserved for independent organizations which have not been
participating, it has been difficult to achieve quorum (7 members) at meetings.
The Tourism Committee has also taken the unusual role of supervising operational tasks such as
running the Liberty Ride. This direct supervision of town functions should transition from a
volunteer committee to town staff.
The creation of an ad-hoc Tourism Operations Committee is a step in the transition to staffing
these functions and is structured to be more likely to achieve quorum. The By-Law Committee
will continue to provide strategic direction for promoting tourism, but will not be involved in
operational issues.
Attached is a draft charge for review.

Evaluation of
Alternative Site Uses
Hartwell Avenue Landfill Site
Lexington, Massachusetts
Presentation to the Board of Selectmen
December 1, 2014
3
Objectives of Operational Assessment
•Can an economically feasible
ground-mounted solar array
be added at the Hartwell
Avenue Landfill site?
•How would current site
operations change?
•Can a potential new police
firing range also be
accommodated?
•Will proposed canopy solar
systems work over current
operating areas?
4
Baseline Requirements
•Allow 1.25MW rated output
ground-mounted solar PV system +
0.5MW –1MW of canopy solar
•Town uses have to be maintained
•Residential drop-off including
composting
•Minuteman HHW facility
•Emergency management and
equipment storage
•Police firing range
•Lexington curbside leaf and yard
waste composting
•DPW material storage and
processing
•Minimize loss of area for
composting from landscapers and
Arlington curbside collection
5
Existing Site Uses
6
Concept Plan Development Approach
•Compliant with MassDEP and
Conservation Commission requirements
•Assume a two-phase implementation
with the first phase incorporating the
proposed solar and phase two
incorporating a possible future
expanded police firing range
•Phase 2 includes 100’ by 300’ area for
police firing range plus 20’ buffer.
Existing police firing range area filled
and reused for compost operations.
•Stakeholders (Police, DPW, Vendor and Taskforce) have agreed that the
proposed solar site is not a suitable location for the firing range given it’s
proximity to the bike path and Minuteman Household Hazardous Waste
(HHW) drop off area.
7
Concept Plan Development Approach,
continued
•Process and remove existing
stockpiles of surplus materials
•Maximize current public works
storage operations with bins –
further refinement of layout
and design required to define
precise area requirements
•Maintain up to 50,000 CY’s of
leaf and yard waste
composting
•Maintain existing site traffic
flow

Phase 1 -Proposed Site Uses
10
Note: All Lexington services maintained. Some
reduction in space allocated to “Non-Lexington”
materials. One option would be non-renewal /
cancellation of Arlington curbside material (allowed
for in the Arlington contract).
Phase 2 –Baseline Solar Case
11
Phase 2/a –Max Solar Case
Note: Expanding to 2.5MW for ground
mounted system (Areas E-2 and F) allows for
current Lexington curbside yard waste but
requires significant scaling back of landscaper
intake in addition to eliminating Arlington
curbside materials.
12
Assessment Conclusions
•Economic impact analysis of reduced “non
Lexington” compost processing (Arlington) is
underway.
•Some reduction in total amount of space
assigned to “non-Lexington” leaf and yard
waste. Options include:
•Reduce intake:
•No longer accept Arlington materials
(current preference)?
•Reduce landscaper delivered quantities of
“non Lexington” materials? (challenging
to implement)
•Enhance operations for more intensive
or efficient use to maintain current
quantities?
•Cost analysis of the assumed civil works is to
be completed.
13
Assessment Conclusions
•Planned ground mounted solar PV installation of
1.25MW can be accommodated while still
maintaining services to Lexington and
Landscapers at current levels and
accommodating a “Phase 2” expansion of the
police firing range.
•Proposed solar canopies of 0.5MW –1.0MW
should work as shown. Need to confirm
compatibility with ongoing operations.
•Planned location of ground-mounted solar does
not impact siting for the potential future
expanded police firing range given proximity to
public access (HHW Drop Off and Bike Path).
14
Sustainable Lexington Committee Presentation
Summary / Next Steps / Request
•Stakeholder group has reached consensus on the ability for solar to exist with current level
of town services + a possible expanded firing range. Supporting analysis provided by
trusted third party specialist.
•Recommended Next Steps:
•Vendor submit ISA application to NSTAR to capture position in queue. Note
application does not bind the town and is at the developers expense and risk.
•Continue financial / operational analysis to deliver economic case options to BOS in
January 2015.
•BOS Request:
•Consent to continue forward with the development of the proposal which includes
submission of the ISA later in Dec for a 3.5 MW total footprint (3.5 MW maintains
optionality for the town –min submission would be 2.25MW).
•Consent to engage local boards and committees including the Conservation
Commission about the proposed project.
•Consent to engage the Finance and Capital committees to review the economic
analysis.
•Permission to come back in early Jan with firmed numbers for presentation of
recommendation on project scope/design

Notes from Lions Club Debrief Meeting
Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. – SMR
Town: Capt. Manny Ferro (Police), Sergeant Christina Demambro (Police), Sergeant Colleen Dunbar
(Police), Chief Wilson (Fire), Karen Simmons (Recreation), Shawn Newell (Facilities), Dave Pinsonneault
(Public Works), Lynne Pease (Selectmen), Cathy Severance (Manager’s Office) and Linda Vine (Manager’s
Office)
Lion’s Club Members: Doug Lucente, Paula Rizzo‐Riley, Dick Michelson, Alan Wrigley, Jonathan Doran &
John Lucente
In general the Lion’s Club representatives were pleased with this year’s event, even given the day they
closed for weather related issues.
Going into next year the Lion’s Club was asked to discuss the carnival location with the BOS in late
November or early December.
Department Comments:
Police:
Issue – Late arrival of carnival workers with bunk houses. Some workers were sleeping outside
when children arrived for camp.
Resolution ‐ Police suggest that someone in upper‐management be present in the future and that they
tell workers where the trailers are supposed to be (spots were not marked this year). Lions Club/DPW
will work on marking spots for next year. Lions Club will make sure they find out exactly how many
trailers will be present (it was suggested that we may want to limit the number.)
Issue – proximity to kids at the High School with the workers (3 different camps going on at LHS).
Resolution – Police will attempt to have a police officer present at the beginning and end of camp
sessions.
Issue ‐ Tractor trailer should not be left (lower Hayden). It should be unloaded and then moved.
Issue ‐ Parking signs came down in the bad weather and Lion’s Club did not replace.
Issue – Lions Club said they had “Residents Only” A‐framed signs for Lincoln and Hastings. They
think DPW may have them. Dave is going to see.
Fire:
Issue – Safety issues with the fireworks staff, fire department will handle for next year. Arrival
time for the fireworks was an issue. In the future, they need to come after 12:00 noon.
2
DPW:
Issue – Dave reiterated that the fireworks set‐up to happen after 12:00, staff had to scramble to
put the fence in place.
DPW asked that the TMO block off 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after the carnival to work on the
lawn. This would be for larger events so they have adequate time to prepare the Park.
Damage to park was minimal due to placement of rides and having DPW staff on location when
the carnival arrived.
Recreation:
Everything worked out well regarding having proper signage in place and clean‐up after the fireworks.
Issue ‐ Fireworks truck damaged phone line and did not notify town. Verizon repaired ‐ may be
a charge to the Lion’s Club.
Karen suggested that in the future, there should be a rain date for the Youth Games.
Facilities:
Issue ‐ Shawn would like to see a specific delivery time when the sleeping cars will arrive, a
better layout plan and additional supervision from carnival management.
Final Comments:
It was mentioned that inspectional services need to inspect both the carnival venue and also the
sleeping cars. Some confusion this year on the part of the CD staff. Linda will address with CD.

Selectmen’s Meeting – April 28, 2014
Ms. Mauger asked the Town Manager to discuss with the Streetscape Group the options that the
Board talked about for the Cary Memorial Building sidewalks. The Selectmen will discuss the
sidewalk materials again at a future meeting.
Discuss the Lions Club Request for the 4th of July Carnival
Ms. Rizzo-Riley and Mr. Lucente, representing the Lions Club, asked for permission to hold the
58th annual 4th of July Carnival at Hastings Park from July 1 through July 5, 2014. Mr. Lucente
presented slides of the history and purpose of the carnival, the location history, the location
review criteria, why the carnival needs to be held on grass, where the proceeds go, what caused
the grass damage in 2012 and 2013, who attends the carnival, why the Lions Club is requesting
Hastings Park, what is different for the 2014 carnival at Hastings Park and a schedule of events.
Ms. Mauger stated the Selectmen heard from many residents predominantly asking that Hastings
Park not be used because it diminishes the enjoyment of the park for the rest of the summer. The
Board also heard from residents that do want the carnival held, but not at Hastings Park.
Mr. Pinsonneault, Public Works Operation Manager, and Mr. Filadoro, Superintendent of
Grounds, informed the Selectmen that a new irrigation system was scheduled to be installed
before the Carnival. The work would include a drainage system. Public Works felt the new
system would help in the recovery of Hastings Park after the Carnival. With the irrigation
system installed sod could be used to repair the grass.
The Selectmen were concerned about damage to the newly installed irrigation and drainage
system by the Carnival. Public Works assured the Selectmen that the Carnival would not
damage the new irrigation system because of how and where it is being located. Only possible
damage would be to the rotary heads which can be quickly replaced. If requested they will look
at the timing of installing the irrigation system prior to the carnival.
Asked about the bandstand work that is planned for the fall and if the new irrigation system and
grass would be impacted, Public Works said there was no impact.
Mr. Cohen suggested that the irrigation system should not be installed until after the carnival and
also after the bandstand work is complete. He is impressed with the many ways the Lions Club
helps the community, but this may be the last year the carnival can be held at Hastings Park.
Mr. Kelley wants the carnival to stay on Hastings Park. He hopes that one day soon the
telephone poles can be removed also. The work to the bandstand will benefit the park. He is
optimistic with the new irrigation and drainage system the Lions Club and the Town will be able
to bring the grass back quickly this year.
Mr. Leonard, 912 Mass. Avenue, Director of the Bicentennial Band, felt the issues with the park
last year did not affect attendance at the summer concerts. He has no concerns and supports the
carnival being located at Hastings Park.

Selectmen’s Meeting – April 28, 2014
Ms. Mauger asked about other options for the carnival.
Ms. Lucente stated the High School parking lot is not possible because of the modular
classrooms being installed this summer and also because of the lower attendance because of the
hot asphalt; the size of the carnival also has to be smaller. The Minuteman Regional High
School has not been looked at but there is concern about having fireworks near the highway.
Hartwell Avenue has not been explored but would be difficult because most buildings are used
during the day. Hayden Field has summer programs and is very swampy. The Farmers Market
land is too small. The carnival needs to be centrally located and visible; it would get lost in the
outskirts of town.
Ms. Mauger has concerns about continuing the carnival at Hastings Park because of the more
severe weather events happening and the Lions Club being able to deal with the recovery and
costs.
Mr. Shaw, President of the Rotary Club, sent an email to the Selectmen. He reminded the Board
of the Lions good work and how much they have done for the community. He hopes the
Selectmen will approve the request to use Hastings Park for the carnival.
Ms. McKenna, Chair of the Tourism Committee, attended an Annual Tourism Team Training
session and she reported that in 2010 the state indicated that $50 million was spent in Lexington;
in 2012 it was $79 million. Events like the carnival bring people to Lexington to spent money.
She asked the Board to think about the affect of Town facilities becoming unavailable for events
and would like to have a discussion about how to plan for future events because of the projects
that are currently impacting planning an event in Lexington.
Mr. Deutsch, 6 Audubon Road, wants the carnival in Town but not on Hastings Park. He is
concerned that if the carnival is held at Hastings Park in perpetuity, the park will no longer be an
asset. He hopes the Selectmen will work with the Lions Club to find a permanent solution for
location the carnival that is not Hastings Park.
Ms. Meade 86 Meriam Street, agrees that the carnival should not be held in Hastings Park.
The Lions Club should discuss next year’s carnival with the Selectmen this fall rather than
waiting until April.
It was suggested that the carnival be held on Worthen Road. Mr. Lucente has discussed that
option and is not opposed to it, but it needs to be discussed further with Town departments.
Ms. Lubershane, 2151 Mass. Avenue, does not want the carnival in Hastings Park and does not
think it will matter if it is held on grass or asphalt.
Mr. Lubershane, 2151 Mass. Avenue, thinks the Selectmen were not given enough time to
review options for locating the carnival.
68-97
Selectmen’s Meeting – April 28, 2014
Ms. Sandy, 353 North Emerson Road, stated that Sam Doran sent an email to the TMMA list
making the case for the carnival not to be held in Hastings Park because the park was given to
the Town by the Cary Family for park purposes and that the carnival violates the intent of what
the Cary Family wanted the land used for.
Ms. Mauger stated that the Lions Club has worked with town and Town staff in good faith. She
asked the Board how they wanted to proceed.
Ms. Ciccolo feels alternative locations should be explored and the Lions Club should return to
the Board in the fall with a new location request. She has heard citizens concerns for the park
but is swayed by the central location and close proximity to the center for economic reasons.
She is not convinced Worthen Road is the appropriate place for the carnival but it needs to be
looked at. She is comfortable with the carnival being held at Hastings Park this year because of
the installation of drainage and irrigation. She suggests that the irrigation be installed prior to the
carnival and encourages that sod be used for repairs. She does not want to close down the
carnival because it is a favorite activity of the community.
Mr. Cohen agrees with Ms. Ciccolo but is bothered by doing the irrigation work prior to the
carnival because of the damage from the carnival and the upcoming work on the gazebo. He
wants to make sure the Lions Club comes before the Selectmen in the fall with a new location.
Mr. Kelley said no one was happy with the damage to the park last year, but he is optimistic the
installation of the drainage and irrigation systems will help. He wants the carnival
accommodated and locations should be discussed much earlier next year.
Mr. Pato believes if the Lions Club holds a debriefing in early fall to review the consequences of
the carnival and how Hastings Park recovered and the steps that will be taken if the carnival were
held there again he is more tolerant about holding the carnival there this year because of the
irrigation and draining work to be done.
Ms. Mauger reluctantly will agree to approve Hastings Park for the carnival this year. Worthen
Road and the High School Parking Lot should be explored for next year’s carnival. She asked
the Lions Club and staff to come earlier next year.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the request of the Lions Club to
hold the July 4th Carnival from Sunday, June 29, through Sunday, July 6, 2014 with the times as
requested in the Lions Club letter dated April 19, 2014.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve the request of the Lions Club
to have lighting turned on until 11:30 p.m. from July 1 through July 7.
68-98
Selectmen’s Meeting – April 28, 2014
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 5-0 to approve a fireworks display on
Wednesday, July 2, 2014, at approximately 9:30 p.m., subject to approval of the fireworks
vendor and safety precautions by the Fire Department.
Board of Appeals Special Permit on il Casale Signage
Ms. Mauger explained that a question was raised about whether were any Town regulations that
regulated using “bar” on signage. Per Town Counsel there are no regulations that prohibit the
use of “bar” on signage.
A majority of the Selectmen do not have any concerns with establishments using the word “bar”
in their signage. The Selectmen also have no authority to disapprove. The Selectmen are the
Local Licensing Authority that approves liquor licenses and requires that food needs to be served
with liquor.
Mr. Kelley does not support using the word “bar” on signage because Lexington does not have
bars in town.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 4-1 (Mr. Kelley opposed) to direct the Town
Manager to direct the Building Commissioner to approve the signage as proposed by il Casale.
Solar RFQ Update
Mr. Voss, member of the Sustainable Lexington Committee Solar Task Force, and Mr. Newell,
Assistant Director of Facilities, presented a slide show on the solar progress since the February
24 Selectmen meeting, providing information on the proposed solar provider Ameresco,
buildings being evaluated for solar, proposed schedule, next steps for solar at the Hartwell
Avenue compost facility and conclusions.
The Solar Task Force’s dual solar RFQ process is moving forward strongly. The critical path
rests with the buildings and schools. The Task Force requests permission to present the proposed
scope and pricing for buildings to the Selectmen at their May 19 meeting to provide information
on the scope and pricing for adding solar to school and municipal buildings and that at that time
confirm with the Town Manager his authority to execute the Buildings EMS if favorable to the
Town. Eight RFQ’s for the Hartwell Avenue recycling facility are in hand and the Working
Group is entering the review phase.
Mr. Pato is pleased with the progress but suggested because of the tight timeline that the
Hartwell Avenue process be slowed down. Mr. Voss will review the timeline schedule and see if
adjustments need to be made.
